Double feature of the first two ever El Santo films. In SANTO CONTRA EL CEREBRO DEL MAL (SANTO VS. THE EVIL BRAIN), the silver-masked hero must foil the plot of a mad scientist to create a zombie army. Then in SANTO CONTRA HOMBRES INFERNALES (SANTO AGAINST THE HELLISH MEN), El Santo helps an undercover agent against a gang of drug smugglers.
Both filmed at the same time in Mexico and Cuba during the Revolution. Preserved and restored by archivist and filmmaker Viviana Garcia Besne with Peter Conheim, The Academy Film Archive and Nicolas Winding Refn. Co-presented by Chicago Film Programmer Raul Benitez and Viviana Garcia Besne of the Permanencia Voluntaria Archivo Cinematografico Mexico.
